A 300 mm long conductor is carrying a current of 10 A and is situated at right angles to a magnetic field having a flux density of 0.8 T ; the force on the conductor will be____________?

Correct answer: C. 2.4 N

  • A. 240 N
  • B. 24 N
  • C. 2.4 N
  • D. 0.24 N

Explanation

The force on a current-carrying conductor is F = BIL sinθ. With B = 0.8 T, I = 10 A, L = 0.3 m, and θ = 90°, F = 0.8 × 10 × 0.3 = 2.4 N.
